I'm glad to DALPA is not rubber-stamping management's every wish.
Most of you have received the recent All Pilots Bulletin from SVP-Flight Operations, Captain Steve Dickson, regarding the Company position on FAR 117’s interaction with several provisions of the existing PWA. ALPA is actively negotiating with the Company to reach an agreement on the new FAR 117 regulations and our PWA work rules.
With regard to the Company's publication, the Company and the Association disagree about the effect of the new FARs on some of the current work rules.
ALPA has informed the Company that the Association is retaining all its rights under the PWA. Until there is an agreement, Contract Administration will continue to enforce the current language in the PWA.
If you have a reserve rotation removed from your line due to the Company asserting that your acknowledgement was untimely, please contact Contract Administration immediately.
...and in related news, the company is slow-rolling next month's schedule release, again.
Welcome to the "new" Delta. Smells a lot like the "old" Northwest.
